PALM BEACH, Fla. – Though he usually focuses criticism on Democrats, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh is scorching Republicans as “clueless” in their efforts to stop President Obama and his health-care agenda, and what he expects to be its “disastrous” impact on everyday life in America.
“We’re left with Obamacare, and we are left with a damaged Constitution, and we have a Republican leadership that’s clueless in how to slow any of this down,” Limbaugh said this afternoon.
“If this keeps going this way, we’re going to lose it all, folks. Unless some people get their heads in the game and focus on what really happened here and what really is happening, we’re going to go down the tubes.”
Limbaugh says last week’s 5-4 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding President Obama’s signature legislation is disastrous, severely damaging the Constitution.
“And apparently it hasn’t sunk in yet in the Republican establishment how outrageously bad this is,” he explained.
“This is why Republicans and conservatives make no progress in pushing back massive government. We don’t live in Realville. Well, they don’t live in Realville. They refuse to accept the reality of what’s going on. And so they try to dress it up. They look for silver linings.

“And apparently it hasn’t sunk in yet in the Republican establishment how outrageously bad this is,” he explained.”
That strikes me as true, for now.
yes, they got some fundraising emails out the door, and they raised a bunch of money.
But, so far, I’m not sure I believe that they really understand, or have a plan. Sort of “Peace in our time” all over again.
They proved a long time ago that they don’t have the will to fight this stuff. I think, ultimately, it is because their heart is not in fighting it because, frankly, they are for it.

At least, enough of them are.
Here’s the sad reality... they don’t WANT to stop Obama.
Politicians work in, derive their wealth and power from government.
Obama wants to expand government in terms of size and reach.
Republicans can pretend to be upset while bellying up to the trough that Obama is graciously providing.
(From 2010)
Tennessee GOP Senator Bob Corker telling “high dollar donors” at a GOP event something prospective Republican voters will be surprised to hear:
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP colleagues have no intention whatsoever to repeal ObamaCare. None. Zip.
According to what the story says are “multiple sources,” here’s the skinny:
The junior senator from Tennessee told the gathering of donors not to worry about the incoming class of “crazier Republicans” because the majority of Senate Republicans, especially minority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), had no intention of repealing the president’s health care bill. They instead planned to fix only the “bad parts” of the law, Corker reportedly told the group.
Get that? The Senate Republican Establishment is already actively planning to sabotage any effort by new colleagues…colleagues they consider to be “crazier Republicans” …to repeal the law that has infuriated a majority of Americans.
Republican and Democrats in DC will NEVER give up power, it must be taken from them.
Or maybe, just maybe, as members of the elite Northeastern Ruling Class, the Republican leadership doesn't WANT to slow any of this down. Maybe, just maybe, they agree with most of Obama's agenda.
Ockham's Razor. Simplest explanation is most likely to be true.
I actually got a email/poll from my Republican US Congressman asking if I approved of the Supreme Court ruling.
Out F'ing out of touch can my so-called Conservative congressman be?
He was teetering right on the edge of telling us “It’s time to panic!” today.
They know exactly what to do. They just do not have the courage for the fight.
Call me when Rush calls for the ouster of Boner and the turkey neck from leadership. Until then it is all for show.
Rush: Republicans clueless complicit in NOT stopping Obama
There, fixed title to match reality.
The Republican establishment only campaigns on one issue: the economy.
It’s why they always want to choose a bland, non-controversial candidate who will offend no one. They are terrified of any other issue because it might cause people to dislike them. In their minds, everyone wants a good economy, so no one will be offended.
They’re insipid.
He was teetering right on the edge of telling us “It’s time to panic!” today.’
You can hear it in his voice. And that’s what worries me. Rush has always said that he will tell us when it’s time to panic. And without saying it directly this week, sounds like that moment is rapidly approaching.
I have never heard Rush sound so defeated and hopeless. It scares me. I actually shut him off today. I can’t believe it...
I was convinced that the U.S. was finished as a capitalistic, conservative country, after seeing the results of the November 2006 U.S. election. When the “politically stupid”/”politically ignorant” become a majority voting force, then it’s all over for the political right and commonsense.
Today Rush was show prep for the Ed Show.

Rush & most / ALL of the conservative / corn-servative ME!-dia was “clueless” on how to help the respected conservative Duncan Hunter in 2008!
